dbx.files_list_folder_continue(curson) fails when using SharedLink

Hi, 

I am listing a password-protected folder shared via a link. 

 

result = dbx.files_list_folder(path=root, shared_link=dropbox.files.SharedLink(url=url, password=password))
for entry in result.entries:
if isinstance(entry, dropbox.files.FolderMetadata):
# do some action with a folder
else:
# do some action with a file

while
result.has_more:
result = dbx.files_list_folder_continue(result.cursor)
for entry in result.entries:
if isinstance(entry, dropbox.files.FolderMetadata):
# do another action with a folder
else:
# do another action with a file

 

dbx.files_list_folder() call goes through all right, however dbx.files_list_folder_continue(result.cursor) fails everytime and the message is not very explanatory:

dropbox.exceptions.ApiError: ApiError('5c91fda84dd6487b9357c3a72be962e7', ListFolderContinueError('path', LookupError('not_found', None)))

Any guesses what is wrong? Cheers.

    Thanks for the report! This looks like it may be a bug on our side. We'll look into it and I'll follow up here with any updates.

      This should be fixed now. Note that using cursors retrieved before the fix will still result in an error though.
